Canadian Forces Intelligence Command

Canadian Forces Intelligence Command (CFINTCOM; French: Commandement du renseignement des Forces canadiennes, COMRENSFC) is the organization that centralizes all intelligence collection and assessment capabilities of the Canadian Armed Forces.

CFINTCOM was formed in 2013 as a unified command that brought together the Canadian Armed Forces' defence intelligence units under a single Level 1 formation. The Commander of CFINTCOM is a Major General (MGen) or Rear Admiral (RAdm) and is concurrently appointed as the Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI), who serves as the functional authority for defence intelligence across the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, meaning the same officer heads both the CAF command and the broader DND/CAF defence intelligence enterprise.
